Background: Camellia sinensis (Green tea) has good antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and it is used for evasion of periodontal disease development. Microbial dysbiosis oral microflora containing gram-positive gram-negative anaerobic microorganisms these organisms can bring about the advancement cariogenic dental plaque on teeth commencement caries. Green tea leaves contain a high convergence ...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of enzyme and phytogenic product (thymol+carvacrol) on the ileal microbial population and jejuna and ileal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat based diet. the experiment was conducted as a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with 2 levels of enzyme endofeed w (0 and 0.05%) and 3 levels of next enhance 150® (0, 100 and 200 mg/kg). each of the 6 dietary ...

an eight-week experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary pediococcus pentosaceus as probiotic on the body composition and gut microbiota of siberian sturgeon, acipenser baerii . a total of 180 fish with mean body weight of 143±0.01g were randomly distributed into 12 200l fiberglass tanks as four treatments with three replicates, including groups fed with diet containing 2×10...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The intestinal bacterial microflora plays an important role in the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As most of the colonic bacteria cannot be identified by culture techniques, genomic technology can be used for analysis of the composition of the microflora. PATIENTS AND METHODS The mucosa associated colonic microflora of 57 patients with active inflammatory b...

The composition and function of intestinal microflora are emerging as integral to both health and disease. During critical illness the normal microbiota are rapidly replaced by pathogenic species as a result of both the physiologic stress itself and the use of antibiotics. In this report, the authors use fecal pH as a surrogate marker to determine the predictive value of the functional output o...

The relationship between chemical structure and gut microbial degradation rates of 14 flavonoids, flavone, apigenin, chrysin, naringenin, kaempferol, genistein, daidzein, daidzin, puerarin, 7,4‘-dihydroxyflavone, 6,4‘dihydroxyflavone, 5,4‘-dihydroxyflavone, 5,3‘-dihydroxyflavone, and 4‘-hydroxyflavone, was investigated by anaerobically fermenting the flavonoids with human gut microflora (n = 11...

Cruciferous vegetables, such as Brassica, which contain substantial quantities of glucosinolates, have been suggested to possess anticarcinogenic activity. Cutting and chewing of cruciferous vegetables releases the thioglucosidase enzyme myrosinase, which degrades glucosinolates to isothiocyanates and other minor metabolites. Cooking of cruciferous vegetables inactivates the myrosinase enzyme, ...

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) interact with intestinal microflora to drive GALT development and diversify the primary antibody repertoire; however, the molecular mechanisms that link these events remain elusive. Alicia rabbits provide an excellent model to investigate the relationship between GALT, intestinal microflora, and modulation of the antibody repertoire. Most B cells in neona...

96-99% of the "friendly" or residential microflora of intestinal tract of humans consists of strict anaerobes and only 1-4% of aerobes. Many diseases of the intestine are due to a disturbance in the balance of the microorganisms inhabiting the gut. The treatment of such diseases involves the restoration of the quantity and/or balance of residential microflora in the intestinal tract. It is know...

Recent advances in molecular sequencing technology have allowed researchers to answer major questions regarding the relationship between a vast genomic diversity-such as found in the intestinal microflora-and host physiology. Over the past few years, it has been established that, in obesity, type 1 diabetes and Crohn's disease-to cite but a few-the intestinal microflora play a pathophysiologica...
